Portrayal of the simple life of a cowboy

Lyrics

Cowboy Ride

VERSE I
The Prairie wind begins to chill
As the golden sunset begins to fade
The autumn leaves are turning brown as
The cold north wind starts to rage

Out here the cowboy lives
Amongst the peaceful flowing plains
The twinkle in his eyes reflect his
dedication to this open space

CHORUS
Well ride cowboy ride
Ride these earthly plains
In this land of milk and honey
Cowboy ride, ride away

VERSE II
A modest life the cowboy lives
The rules of nature guides his life
His horse and lasso are his partners
From daybreak to dusk he will ride

Instrumental
VERSE III
As the final sun begins to set
The legend of the cowboy shall remain
His days upon these plains will be remembered
As he journeys from the saddle to the grave
